FEAR NOT Brave Investors
Dream, Trade Wars, Shutdowns and Flexible Fed
That chaos from the Apple warning. seems so long ago – supsiciously timed and denied China trade announcements came out at just the right time to push stock markets and even oil higher this week. Bank earnings were mixed and Schlumberger gave us a timely look at the O&G sector. Europe continues to flounder with Brexit not helping their cause as we saw with weak industrial production reports. The US government has shut down for 3 weeks and the division between the Demcocrats and Trump over collusion and more only grew louder.
The biggie has been change of the Fed’s tone has this far put a bid under the markets with the hope of a trade deal, at what point does scepticism outweigh hope?
What else has changed, we see still have the EU budget to watch in Italy, the Marcon mess, the Brexit bungle and U.S. politics making for a real life black comedy. Emerging markets continue to overhang, particularly the Fragile 5 and Argentina with the new year normally a busy time for sovereign debt issuers. Over $4 trillion of EM debt matures by the end of 2020, of which around a third is denominated in foreign currency, according to the Institute of International Finance.
If you wanted to play in the big room at Vegas, you are living it. Understand risk and the madness of crowds for your own sanity and wealth.
The week ahead begins we have a slew of PMI’s from Asia, Europe and the Americas, we also have rate decisions from the ECB, BOJ and BOK.
Focus on your self and what YOU CAN INFLUENCE, set your trading plan and goals in be set for 2019. One suspects it will be a year long Groundhog day for Trump, the GOP and the Democrats. We still have China and the U.S.trade wars.
Earnings wise we had the major banks report last week; Bank of America, Citigroup, Goldman Sachs, J.P. Morgan, Morgan Stanley, PNC and Wells Fargo plus Netflix, and Schlumberger. The week ahead we get Wynn Resorts, WYNN, TD Ameritrade, AMTD, Travelers, TRV , Halliburton, HAL , United Technologies Corp. UTX . Johnson & Johnson JNJ, IBM, P&G, PG, Raytheon, RTN, Ford, F, Celegene, CELG, Freeport-McMoRan, FCX, Texas Instruments, TXN American Airline AAL, Southwest LUV, Bristol-Myers Squibb BMY, E*TRADE ETFC, Intel INTC, Starbucks, SBUX.
